Since I'm installing a lift and larger tires, I guess I need a new method of jacking up the truck should I have a flat.

I have seen a lot of people that have this jack (or similar) but how does it work? Does it jack up the bumper? Does it fit to the frame somewhere? Anyone got pics of it in use? Just seems a little tall and skinny, making it prone to being knocked over easily...

it works best with sliders or a nice steel bumper simply crank it up but do not use it with the stock bumper although there is add-ons you can buy to lift it from your tire or your bumper its best used with sliders. theres a plate you can buy that works well with the hi-lift to keep it sturdy.

You need something solid to have it hook on to. Factory bumpers won't work. Best bet is sliders and aftermarket bumpers. It does not connect to the frame, nose is too short. But be careful, a Hilift can break your jaw in a split second. Preventive maintenance and practice using it before you actually need it are a good idea. It is prone to falling over without a load in it, a nice base is a good thing to have. I've seen plenty of dents in doors/fenders caused by them. I have this thing, http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/products_jackof_detail.htm and it lets me use my jack on any part of my truck with relative safety (better than just the nose of the HiLift anyhow). Do a YouTube search on the HiLift, there are a few videos of how to use it, how to use it as a winch, maintenance on it, etc. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hilift+jack&search_type=&aq=f
